Hotelbeds fuels travel recovery with global ‘Black Friday’ campaign


	Aruba Tourism Authority is partnering with the Destination Marketing team at Hotelbeds to promote tourism recovery until the end of August 2021.
	Hotelbeds will attract incremental international visitors to the Caribbean island of Aruba via leveraging the company’s contracting team in the destination to gain special promotional rates and deals.
	The 60,000 travel trade buyers of Hotelbeds – retail travel agents, tour operators, airlines, and points redemption programs – typically provide high-value, international guests that stay longer, book further in advance and spend more in destination.


Palma, Spain, &nbsp;11 November 2020 – Hotelbeds, the world’s leading bedbank, has today announced an agreement with Aruba Tourism Authority, the official Destination Marketing and Management Organization (DMMO) for the Caribbean island of Aruba.

As part of the agreement the Destination Marketing team of Hotelbeds will drive incremental tourism arrivals to the region and work with Aruba Tourism Authority on recovery efforts through till the end of August 2021.

The objective of the partnership is for Hotelbeds to market and improve the level of inbound tourism into the Caribbean island by increasing both the overall room nights generated as well as &nbsp;revenue performance.

This will be achieved by attracting incremental visitors to the region from international source markets by leveraging Hotelbeds’ contracting team in Aruba to gain access to special promotional rates and exclusive deals on hotels and activities.

Additionally, via the company’s Bedsonline brand – which distributes solely to travel agents – the campaign will introduce initiatives such as exclusive hotel rates for travel agents and host dedicated training webinars to show how Aruba has adapted to COVID-19 travel and safety measures.

Aruba will benefit from focused promotion to the over 60,000 travel trade buyers – including retail travel agents, tour operators, airlines, and points redemption programs – that work with Hotelbeds in over 140 source markets globally.

Such travel trade buyers typically offer more international arrivals that in turn deliver high-value customers who spend more in destination, stay longer, cancel less, return more often and book further out than typical direct-to-consumer customer profiles.

Gareth Matthews, Marketing &amp; Communications Director at Hotelbeds says: “We are delighted to partner with Aruba Tourism Authority for this recovery campaign. Aruba has many beautiful locations ideally suited for travel even in the current context, and these, combined with the special rates and promotions we are arranging, will be highly appreciated by our large network of travel trade buyers around the world. &nbsp;We are also pleased to highlight to our partners the steps Aruba is taking to welcome back visitors and promote safe travel. Like all of our campaigns, the goal is to drive incremental demand from international markets and provide high-value guests for our hotel partners.”

Edward Malone, North America Director at Aruba Tourism Authority adds: “The Aruba Tourism Authority is pleased to continue our long-term partnership with Hotelbeds in activating high-impact marketing initiatives with travel trade partners. As we maneuver the challenges of COVID-19, our focus is to drive consumer demand while emphasizing the safety and health of travelers to Aruba – as well as showcasing the quality vacation experience that visitors deserve and can look forward to. While we understand that not everyone is ready to travel yet, we also recognize the need for recovery. Travel planning, supporting the travel agent community, and bouncing back to delivering high-value bookings for hotels and attractions is crucial.”

Leveraging the company’s technology, booking platform, and relationships with hoteliers and travel trade buyers globally, Hotelbeds has to date already worked with over 50 tourism boards from around the world.

Partner destinations receive access to the over 60,000 travel trade buyers – such as retail travel agents, tour operators, airlines, and points redemption programs – who together make over 1.5 billion accommodation searches per day via Hotelbeds.

Due to the international reach of Hotelbeds – present in over 140 source markets globally – destination partners also benefit from receiving more international arrivals from hard to access source markets.

 Hotelbeds and Air Canada Vacations strengthen partnership to fuel Canadian domestic recovery


	Hotelbeds is launching a new initiative to identify, highlight and promote sustainable accommodation within its hotel portfolio.
	Over 15,000 properties are already part of The Green Hotels Programme and are available from today to more than 60,000 B2B travel buying partners worldwide.
	Additionally, Hotelbeds announces it has become a full member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), the leading global authority in setting and managing standards for sustainable travel &amp; tourism.


Palma, Spain, 27 October 2020 – Hotelbeds, the world’s leading bedbank, has announced today the launch of The Green Hotels Programme, a turn-key solution to bring Hotelbeds and its partners to the green economy and accelerate the transition of the travel industry towards sustainability.

In order to focus on establishing a more responsible and sustainable business model, Hotelbeds now has over 15,000 properties within its portfolio certified as sustainable.

These hotels will now be easily identifiable to the more than 60,000 travel trade client partners of Hotelbeds and Bedsonline – including travel agents, tour operators, airlines and point redemption schemes – via this new green filter that will include details of certifications and offer tags.

Hotelbeds and Thomas Cook sign strategic partnership

When was cloud computing invented? This is a hotly disputed subject amongst my fellow geeks, with the answers brokered spanning from 1963 through to 1993 – and across those three decades the years that have the strongest backing are 1983 and 1989 (I´m a 1983 guy).

As we charge through the 21st century the discussion has moved on to become ´who has genuinely deployed a practical cost conscious cloud strategy? ´, accompanied by similarly high levels of debate.

Like so many other businesses our cloud journey at Hotelbeds has been made up of an initial technical push with a single cloud provider tightly coupled – and deliberately&nbsp;so – with our legacy on-premise infrastructure.

Unfortunately this is not economical in the long-term. &nbsp;In the short term it works, but then the costs grow and the single partner route takes a big bite out of the advantages of a distributed architecture.

The credible cloud provider landscape has really matured in recent years and the challenge for us now is not which providers to go with, but instead how we effectively deploy our services amongst those providers.

We have accelerated our outcomes through our partnership with Rancher, the software stack that enables businesses to deliver Kubernetes-as-a-service.

I can proudly confirm that this summer we started running Kubernetes clusters in our production environments on GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and AWS (Amazon Web Services), using Rancher to deploy and distribute our work loads.

So what does this mean for our 180,000 hotel and 60,000 B2B travel buyer partners? The greater flexibility we now have means we can offer a more reliable, more robust, and more performant availability service. These are core components in our customer experience and in transaction terms this heaviest platform element.

Meanwhile an added bonus for us is the time reduction of 90% in cloud migration and 80% in deployment. This allows us to scale and deploy our workloads in minutes – literally – that in turn delivers a substantial operating efficiency and the all-important greater surety of service.

Whilst multi-cloud is far from a new strategy for us or our sector, I´d like to make clear that this is not just some theoretical exercise: we have fully deployed a multi-cluster, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud/on premise architecture to give us complete flexibility. It is an enormous achievement.

This outstanding work reflects the professionalism and commitment to innovation of our colleagues, who did all this work long before I arrived – &nbsp;while I bask in the glory of their hard work!

I am already working with the teams on the next phase of our cloud journey with additional core components in our platform, and also leaning&nbsp;on some amazing new business service technology that will enable seamless real-time performance optimization…more on that soon.

If you would like to know more about our cloud journey or the Hotelbeds product and technology community please reach out to us.
